Be clever, play clever, and pickup craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Modern craps evolved from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard during a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when banished by the English, the French moved down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is derived from the name of the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the nation. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn developed the modern craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he established the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
